Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 205
The good news is really one after another. The imperial court has approved the beef cattle that Zixuan said, and agreed to let go of the restriction on not killing cattle here, so that this kind of meat cattle can be raised.

Now, Jing Han jumped up and down happily.He hurriedly took people to the grassland, and told Wu Ya, Batu and others about the new policy.She also promised that if each household raises more cattle, she will be responsible for selling them.When these herdsmen heard this, they all became more motivated, and finally hoped that the court would have such a new decree, so why not hurry up?However, after all, this cattle raising will not be effective in a day or two. It will take several years to develop to a large scale.

At the same time, Jinghan also told Wu Ya and the others that in the future, except for the rolling felt that must be used, save the rest of the sheared wool, and Jinghan will be of great use.Although Wu Ya and the others felt strange, what else could this wool be used for?Not enough respect and admiration for Jinghan, they agreed.

These herdsmen's families will raise hundreds of sheep, and the wool is indeed inexhaustible.In fact, there are many in the hands of every household. When Jinghan said this, someone took out the wool and gave it to Jinghan.Looking at the snow-white wool, Jing Han was not polite, and directly accepted it, and asked An Fu to give them some money according to the amount.

Naturally, the herdsmen did not accept them, "Ma'am, these things are too simple for us. These sheep will have to be sheared next spring. Besides, we only use them for felting, and there is no other use. Madam thinks it is good, Just take it as you like, and you don’t need to pay for it.” Wu Ya and Jing Han are familiar with each other, so she will tell Jing Han.

"Fellow folks, I want this wool, and I don't use it myself. I just want to figure out if there is any way to make this wool more useful. If I really figure out a way, then our lives will be better in the future. It will be even better. The wool is bought by your hard work, I can't just take it away. Besides, if I really figure out a way in the future, I will need a lot of wool. How can I get it? Did you all give it to me for nothing? Well, the money is not much, it’s just my heart. What I hope most is that we all live a happy life together.” Jinghan didn’t want to ask for their things in vain, So he stood among the crowd and said loudly.

"Since Madam intends to benefit the people, we can't collect money. Madam just takes the wool this time. If Madam wants to find a way, she must try a few more times. I don't know if it can be used. .If Madam really thinks of a way, we can collect the money when we ask for it later.” An elder of this tribe spoke.

The herdsmen have rules, and they respect the elders the most. Since he said so, it is difficult for Jinghan to refute.Jinghan bowed to the elder, "Since it is the old man who spoke, Jinghan dare not disobey. But when Jinghan collects wool again in the future, everyone must accept the money. Jinghan's original intention is to let Everyone lives a good life, if it is always so free, it will not be good."

The elder smiled, "Madam said so, of course we agree. I hope Madam can come up with a good idea, so that our herdsmen's life will be easier." The elder turned back and said to the people beside him, " All the families went back to bring the wool and gave it to Madam. Madam is willing to do things for us herdsmen, don’t we even give up such a little wool?”

So the whole tribe went back to fetch the wool one after another, and finally Anfu loaded two carts full of wool.Their car was not enough, Batu took the initiative to lend the car to Jinghan, and sent them back to the county.

Jinghan told Anfu to take some more silks and fabrics to Batu. Anyway, the silks and satins sent by the emperor at that time were also stored there, and they would just buy them later.

Anfu brought out twenty bolts of high-quality silk from the warehouse and gave them to Batu.Batu refused.Later, Jinghan persuaded, saying that these are for everyone, thank you for your enthusiasm.Batu finally agreed to accept it and thanked him repeatedly.

After sending Batu away, Anfu looked at the wool and worried, "Ma'am, what is the use of all this wool? You can't eat or drink this stuff."

Jinghan smiled, "I'm writing a letter, and you can find someone to deliver it to my Yue's house. I need the help of my uncle." A few people were transferred there.Jinghan is only responsible for coming up with ideas, and there must be a dedicated person to do the hands-on work.

An Fu knew what his young lady was capable of, so he quickly agreed, and together with Zhao Changan, put all the wool in the warehouse.

Yue Siyuan received Jinghan's letter, and after reading the letter, he slapped the table, "This little girl can really think of a way. Well, this idea is really good."

The wife Liu who was next to him laughed, "You, what makes you so happy?"

Yue Siyuan told his wife what Jinghan said in the letter, "This is a good thing. It can not only increase the income of those herdsmen, but also allow us to wear a new kind of clothes. Do you think I can be unhappy?"

Mrs. Liu nodded, "Since this is the case, hurry up and send a few capable people over there. Although Jinghan's work is to make the people live a better life, there is still a lot of profit in it. Let's do it first, and we will do it later. Others just follow suit, so it’s not so easy.” Just like tussah silkworms, many people come to harvest tussah silkworms, but no one is as good as the Yue family.

Mrs. Liu is also an intelligent woman, so she naturally saw unlimited business opportunities from here.

Yue Siyuan hurried out to make arrangements, and finally selected ten people and sent them to Jinghan. "Remember, you can do whatever Madam Zhixian asks you to do, and follow Madam Zhixian's arrangements for everything. I have prepared everything you need, and if there is anything missing, send someone back to pick it up."

At the end of September, Jinghan waited until the people sent by Yue Siyuan still had some textile machines and other equipment.Jinghan vacated a place from the empty house on the county government side, settled them down, and found a few rooms with relatively large bays, which were used as places for everyone to conduct experiments.

"Lady, do you think these wools can really be spun into threads?" Zixuan was a little worried, afraid that Jinghan wouldn't be able to get them out.

"Your wife, don't you believe my ability? Besides, look at how long those wools are. Cotton can be spun, and this wool can naturally." Jinghan patted Zixuan on the shoulder, "Don't worry. , When the thread is spun out, I will knit a sweater for you first."

Zixuan has a deep understanding of Jinghan's ability, so he suppressed his curiosity and patiently waited for the result.

With the efforts of Jing Han and those few people, it took about ten days to spin the first batch of wool, and a total of ten catties of wool was produced.The people sent by Yue Siyuan are worthy of being experts, the threads they spun are uniform in thickness and good in bulk.

After discussing with them, Jinghan dyed the wool, and Jinghan asked someone to make four needles for knitting sweaters, and then began to knit the sweaters.Of course, this process is a bit slow, because after all, Jinghan hasn't done this thing for many years.

Jinghan kept knitting and knitting day and night, and it took nearly ten days to knit a sweater.When everyone saw this sweater, they were shocked. Who would have thought that a piece of wool could be woven into a garment in the end?

This sweater was woven according to Zixuan's figure, and the royal blue sweater looked good on Zixuan.

"This thing is very good. It's very soft. It's not as thick as a cotton coat, but it's much warmer than a jacket. It happens to be worn when you take off your cotton jacket in spring, so you don't get too cold in a jacket and too hot in a cotton jacket. In autumn It’s okay, if you wear this inside and the down jacket you made outside, it’s fine even in winter.” Zixuan didn’t want to take it off after putting it on, this thing is really good, it’s not as bulky as a cotton padded jacket, and it’s easy to move around.

The person sent by the Yue family, the leader was surnamed Ding, and Guanshi Ding couldn't help admiring, "Madam is really a genius, she has such an ingenious idea. It is very rare that a small piece of wool can be woven into clothes in the end. This thing If it’s done, I’m afraid it can be sold for a good price. The only shortcoming is that it takes some time. I wonder if there is a way to solve this?”

"It's also my first time doing it, so I'm going to be slow. If I'm proficient, I think I can speed up. It doesn't matter. As long as you teach others, everyone can weave when they are free, and it doesn't take up the time for serious work. You see Those women, when they are free every day, don’t they also pay for the soles of their shoes? If they can earn money, they can pay them according to the price of a piece, and it’s not a problem to think about labor.” Jinghan is not troubled by herself when she is doing things. Yes, I just want to teach everyone so that they can make money.

Steward Ding kept nodding, "Since Madam said so, it is feasible. Then we will spin this kind of wool from now on, right?"

Jinghan shook her head, "No, this is just one kind. The most important thing is that I want you to spin a single-strand thread of similar thickness, and then use it to weave cloth, just like weaving cloth with cotton yarn. The fabric is thick and windproof, and it’s strong, isn’t it just another good thing to keep warm?”

When Guanshi Ding heard this, his eyes lit up, "If you follow Madam's words, that would be a great thing. Madam, just tell me what to do, and we will do it." They are all capable people in this industry. There is something, and the rest is easy to handle.

Jinghan doesn't know much about these things, but in fact she is also whimsical, thinking of all kinds of woolen coats in her previous life.But Jinghan really doesn't quite understand how to weave this thing.Fortunately, the people she faced were experts, so she told her plan, and then let everyone think about it.

Guanshi Ding and the others were worthy of Yue Siyuan's trust, they really spun yarn within a few days.When they came, they brought several looms with them, but to weave this kind of yarn, the looms had to be modified again.This will take a lot of time, and Jinghan will wait patiently.
